Chapter 21: Full marks for acting
Li Xiaoniang stood aside tremblingly, and said while printing her eyes with a silk handkerchief: "Brother Mo'er's words really went to my heart, thinking that when the eldest lady was alive, there was a harmony in the house, who would have thought that after she left, someone would come to murder her child, and she couldn't even look at it under Jiuquan." ”
The old lady looked at Li Xiaoniang, felt a little distressed, and said softly: "Your body is not yet well, and you are also alarmed, Qiu'er helped Xiaoniang to sit down." ”
Li Xiaoniang knelt down with a puff: "My daughter-in-law begged the old lady for forgiveness, after Miss Qiao's accident last time, I was uneasy, so I took it upon myself to check Qiu Laosan who checked the stable, Qiu Laosan refused to say at first, and I asked someone to invite him to drink, he said that the night before the accident, Mrs. Liu, who was next to the second lady, went to the stable......"
Wang's face changed greatly, and he knelt down as soon as his legs became weak: "Mother-in-law, daughter-in-law doesn't know about this." ”
Then he waved his hand and hit Li Xiaoniang, scolding angrily: "You are a slut, you actually poured dirty water on me!" ”
Li Xiaoniang was slapped alive and cried.
Wang's eyes were red: "Ask your mother-in-law to be the master, your daughter-in-law is really wronged." ”
Yumo knelt forward a few steps: "Grandmother, if this matter is not investigated, it is inevitable that there will be another incident in the future, so it is better to call Qiu Laosan and Mrs. Liu for questioning." ”
The old lady's face turned blue, and she scolded Song Mingshi: "Okay, you Song Mingshi, look at who you are receiving!" ”
Yu Qiao trembled in the old lady's arms, but secretly observed these people with her eyes.
Li Xiaoniang is a white lotus, and this style will only win people's favor and pity.
Wang, who lacks forbearance, must not be a deep-minded person.
Since this matter is so pierced today, if the old lady does not ask a little questions, it will only make people unconvinced.
Then he said to Mrs. Sun: "Go and call Mrs. Liu for questioning." ”
The grandmother took the order and left. The old lady looked at Wang deeply and said, "I just thought you were gentle and virtuous, but it's good today, and you're starting to fight people." ”
Wang's indignation: "The daughter-in-law really couldn't stand Li Xiaoniang's bite of her daughter-in-law for no reason, she poured this dirty water on her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law was angry for a while. ”
The old lady said in a deep voice: "She just said that Mrs. Liu had been to the stable, and she never insisted that you had harmed Qiao Yatou, what are you doing with such a weak heart." is so breathless, how to be a housewife? ”
Wang leaned down and trembled and said, "My daughter-in-law knows that I am wrong. ”
Grandma Sun led Mrs. Liu into the house, and Mrs. Liu knelt down to greet the old lady.
The old lady said softly: "You used to serve Lan Xin, but after Lan Xin went, Su E was taken into the house, I thought that you were an old man in the house, and you could usually mention Su E more, so I arranged for you to serve by her side." ”
Mrs. Liu kowtowed: "Thank you for the old lady's trust in the slave." ”
The old lady watched her and asked, "On the first night of the day of Qiao's accident, have you been to the stables in the house?" ”
Mrs. Liu replied calmly: "The slave maid has been there. Back to the old lady, when Brother Qing came back from school that day, he inadvertently mentioned that his horse accidentally stepped on the glass slag and walked with a little lameness, and the slave was not at ease, so he went to check at night. ”
Wang asked anxiously, "How did I not know about this?" ”
Mrs. Liu looked at the Wang family and said with a wry smile: "Mrs. wants her son to become a Chan, especially to pay close attention to Brother Qing, and he has to ask about everything in every detail, he is afraid of worrying you, so he will hide it." ”
Then he bowed to the old lady and said: "The slave maid used to serve the eldest lady, the so-called close to Zhu Zhechi, the eldest lady's usual words and deeds, naturally let the people around her follow suit." ”
"Although the old slave came from a humble background and could not learn a little, he understood the principle of faithfully protecting his master. Miss Qiao is the child of the eldest lady, and even if the old slave dies, he will not be instructed to murder the eldest lady's child. ”
He fell to the ground and said no more.
The old lady asked Yuqing: "Qing'er, your horse was indeed lame that day?" ”
Yuqing has always been a loyal and kind character, and his temperament is most like Song Mingshi.
replied: "What Liu's mother said is true, when I came back from school that day, I sat in the carriage and asked the coachman Song Bao, he said that the horse stepped on the glass slag, and the pain caused the walking to be bumpy. If the grandmother doesn't believe it, she will pass on Song Bao to ask questions. ”
The old lady said softly: "Don't ask, grandmother believes you." You child, remember to tell your mother when you encounter something in the future, although she is trivial, she is also a very loving son. ”
"My grandson wrote it down."
The old lady said loudly: "You all listen, I am up and down the Song Mansion, don't speculate about Qiao'er's falling into the water for no reason, and don't be suspicious of others at will." ”
Song Mingshi knew that he had wronged the Wang family, and he owed it in his heart, so he secretly squeezed the hand of the Wang family who was kneeling beside him.
Li Xiaoniang also knew that she was troubled, and asked for guilt: "It's all because the daughter-in-law is too worried about Miss Qiao's safety, and she speculates for a while, begging her mother-in-law to confess." ”
Seeing this situation, Yu Qiao was even more sure that his accident had nothing to do with the Wang family.
She may love her two children very much, but she never thought of murdering herself and Brother Mo.
She choked up and said, "Grandmother, don't blame your father, and don't blame Erniang and Xiaoniang." On the day Qiao Er fell into the water, it was really just a horse that went crazy unexpectedly, and no matter how much the people in the house were implicated in this matter. ”
"As for tonight's incident, I think there is that kind of snitch who plotted against my Song family's treasure, entered the mansion and wanted to steal one or two, and rushed to me in a panic. It was I who frightened my grandmother and my father. ”
Yumo shouted, "Qiao'er ......"
Although Wang cleared his suspicion, Yumo was still unwilling.
Yu Qiao gave him a reassuring look: "Brother Mo, don't listen to some gossip from people, Mrs. Liu used to be the person next to her mother, even if she went to the stable, she was worried about Brother Qing, why turn everyone into a frightened bird?" ”
The old lady was relieved: "It seems that what Qiao Yatou said is not unreasonable, the house can't bite its own people in case of trouble." ”
Song Mingshi immediately agreed: "Mother said yes." ”
Li Xiaoniang......
Wang's tears flowed: "Miss Xie Qiao and my mother-in-law believe in my innocence. ”
The old lady sighed, "You all get up, kneeling in this piece makes my eyes hurt." It seems that Qiao Er can't live here alone, so I'll take her back to Zhaotingyuan. ”
But don't, the old paper is free here......
She said pitifully: "Fortunately, Watson is here, he knows some fists and feet, and when he was chasing the gangster, he flew out of the window like a bird, which must have frightened the gangster." ”
The old lady looked at Watson: "Do you know some kung fu?" ”
Watson bent down and saluted: "When the little one was young, he followed his father to perform arts, and he would play some kung fu. ”
